CHORUS TAPPING * CHORUS: Tapping, tapping, little elf, As you work upon your shelf, Working hard to make some toys, All for little girls and boys, Tapping, tapping, little elf, As you work upon your shelf. Gusty, Poofer, Dimpie, Snooter, Munchie, Thooner… that’s us! REPEAT TWICE CHORUS GUSTY THE ELF I * Gusty the Elf was Santa’s helper, Gusty the Elf just loved to try, But, when he worked for dear old Santa, Gusty the Elf could only cry, “Oh!” when he stubbed his toe, “Umm,” when he hammered his thumb, “Gee!” when he banged his knee, “Oh boy!” when he broke a toy, Gusty the Elf was so discouraged…

CHORUS: Love and joy come to you, And to you glad Christmas, too, And God bless you and send you A Happy New Year, And God send you a Happy New Year. We are not daily beggars That beg from door to door, But we are neighbors’ children Whom you have seen before. CHORUS God bless the master of this house, Likewise the mistress, too, And all the little children That round the table go. CHORUS

Two little Christmas trees standing all alone, Their hearts were very sad ‘cause they hadn’t found a home. Then “CHOP” went the ax, and down fell a tree, And off it went with a happy family. One little Christmas tree standing all alone, His heart was very sad ‘cause he hadn’t found a home. Then “CHOP” went the ax, and down fell a tree, And off it went with a happy family. No little Christmas trees standing all alone, Their hearts were very happy cause they all had found a home. MOTHER’S KNIVES AND FORKS These are Mother’s knives and forks, This is Mother’s table, This is Mother’s looking glass, And this is baby’s cradle. HERE WE COME A-CAROLING Here we come a-caroling Among the leaves so green; Here we come a wand’ring, So fair to be seen.

And all your kin and kinsfolk That dwell both far and near, I wish you Merry Christmas And Happy New Year. CHORUS DECK THE HALLS Deck the Halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la la. 'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la. Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la la. Troll the ancient yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la la. See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la la. Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la la, While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la la. Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la la. Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la la. Sing we joyous all together, Fa la la la la la la la la, Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la la.

CHRISTMAS DAY Christmas day will soon be here and I can hardly wait! Christmas day will soon be here and I can hardly wait! Santa will be coming, soon he will be coming. Christmas day will soon be here and I can hardly wait! REPEAT TWICE WHEN SANTA COMES When Santa comes to our house, I would like to peek, But I know he’ll never come Until I’m fast asleep. ANGEL BAND There was one, there were two, there were three little angels, There were four, there were five, there were six little angels, There were seven, there were eight, there were nine little angels, Ten little angels in that band. Oh, wasn’t that a band, Christmas morning, Christmas morning, Christmas morning. Wasn’t that a band, Christmas morning, Christmas morning soon. LITTLE BELLS OF CHRISTMAS The little bells of Christmas say, Ding, dong, ding, dong, dong, The little bells of Christmas say, Ding, ding, dong. REPEAT IN FOUR-PART ROUND STAR LIGHT STAR BRIGHT Star light, star bright, First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight.

Who’s got gifts and is quiet as a mouse? Santa Claus, Santa Claus. Who’s jolly and fun and knows everyone? Santa Claus, Santa Claus. Whose favorite season is the Christmas one? Santa Claus, Santa Claus. Who knows how to make it fun? Every year, yeah, he’s the one. It’s Santa Claus! Who comes south from the North Pole? Santa Claus, Santa Claus. With his reindeer and a sled packed full? Santa Claus, Santa Claus. Who’s the one who says, “Ho, Ho, Ho?” Santa Claus, Santa Claus. Who’s got lots of ribbons and bows? Santa Claus, Santa Claus. Who’s the one that spreads Christmas cheer? Makes us glad for this time of year? It’s Santa Claus! Now, on Christmas Eve, he takes off from here, To spread lots of joy and Christmas cheer. You know he’s coming, and you try to sleep, But you lie awake without a peep. You listen hard for those reindeer hooves As one by one they land on the roof. And pretty soon you know, by jimminy, Santa’s coming down your chimney. He puts your presents around the tree, And smiles a great big smile of glee. And then he’s off to another family, Cause he’s… Santa Claus! Chorus

But when he worked for dear old Santa, Gusty the Elf could only cry, “Oh!” when he stubbed his toe, “Umm,” when he hammered his thumb, “Gee!” when he banged his knee, “Oh, boy!” when he broke a toy, Gusty the Elf was so discouraged, “Help me, please Santa, won’t you try?” CHRISTMAS IS COMING Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, Please to put a penny in the old man’s hat, Please to put a penny in the old man’s hat. Gusty, Poofer, Dimpie, Snooter, Munchie, Thooner… that’s us! REPEAT THREE TIMES Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, Please to put a penny in the old man’s hat, Please to put a penny in the old man’s hat. REPEAT IN THREE-PART ROUND CHUBBY LITTLE SNOWMAN A chubby little snowman Had a carrot nose. Along came a bunny, And what do you suppose? That hungry little bunny, Looking for his lunch, Ate the snowman’s carrot nose, Nibble, nibble, crunch! THE CHIMNEY

Who is it? What’s his name? It’s Santa Claus!

Here is the chimney, Here is the top, Open the lid, Out Santa will pop!

CHRISTMAS WRAP • CHORUS: Who’s that sneaking around the house? Santa Claus, Santa Claus.

But when he worked for dear old Santa, Gusty the Elf could only cry, “Oh!” when he stubbed his toe, “Umm,” when he hammered his thumb, “Gee!” when he banged his knee, ‘’Oh, boy!” when he broke a toy, Gusty the Elf was so discouraged, “Help me, please Santa, won’t you try?” So, Santa gave Gusty brand new glasses, Gusty the elf no more did cry, “Oh!” when he stubbed his toe, “Umm,” when he hammered his thumb, “Gee!” when he banged his knee, ‘’Oh, boy!” when he broke a toy, Gusty the Elf was oh, so happy, “Thank you, dear Santa, for this joy, Now I can make the toys for Christmas, For ev’ry little girl and boy.”

Susie needs a sled, Nellie wants a storybook, one she hasn’t read, As for me, I hardy know, so I’ll go to rest; Choose for me, dear Santa Claus, what you think is best. JINGLE BELLS CHORUS: Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride In a snowflake, open sleigh! Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride In a snowflake, open sleigh! Dashing through the snow In a snowflake, open sleigh! O’er the skies we go, Laughing all the way; Hear our voices ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight. Oh…,

We can’t wait ‘til he’s here. REPEAT IN FOUR-PART ROUND UP ON THE HOUSETOP Up on the housetop reindeer pause, Out jumps good old Santa Claus; Down through the chimney with lots of toys, All for the little ones, Christmas joys. CHORUS: Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go! Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go! Up on the house top, click, click, click, Down through the chimney with good St. Nick. First comes the stocking of little Nell; Oh, dear Santa, fill it well, Give her a dolly that laughs and cries, One that can open and shut its eyes.

CHORUS Gusty the Elf was oh, so happy, “Thank you, dear Santa, for this joy, Now he can make the toys for Christmas, For ev’ry little girl and boy.” “Now I can make the toys for Christmas, For ev’ry little girl and boy.” JOLLY OLD ST. NICHOLAS Jolly old St. Nicholas, lean your ear this way! Don’t you tell a single soul what l’m going to say; Christmas Eve will soon be here, now you dear old man, Whisper what you’ll bring to me, tell me if you can. When the clock is striking twelve, when you’re fast asleep, Down the chimney with my pack, softly I will creep, All the stockings you will find hanging in a row; Mine will be the shortest one, you’ll be sure to know. Johnny wants a pair of skates,

CHORUS Oh, what fun it is to ride In a snowflake, open sleigh! DOWN THROUGH THE CHIMNEY* Down through the chimney, Santa slipped, Brushed off the dirt and snow that dripped, Looked round the room and then he crept Right past the beds where the children slept. Laid all the presents under the tree, Filled the stockings full for the children to see, Then tiptoed to the chimney and was out of sight, ‘Til he jumped into his sleigh and flew off through the night. SANTA CLAUS IS COMING* Santa Claus is coming, Christmas is near, Hang all the stockings,

Look in the stocking of little Will; Oh, just see what a glorious fill! Here is a hammer and lots of tacks, Whistle and ball and a whip that cracks. CHORUS ‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced through their heads; And Mama in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter; Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash…

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew, like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, “Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night!” Clement Moore Clarke

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer. With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick… “Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Prancer! And Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!”… And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof, The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot! A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack; His eyes—how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow… He had a broad face and a little round belly. That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly… He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings—then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
